FFBE Script part 46: Airship Tech Lid

DIRNADO - AIRSHIP TECH LLID - INDUSTRIAL CITY DILMAGIA 1
(The three enter Dilmagia.)
Lasswell: That must be the shipyard. Perhaps they'll allow us to borrow a vessel.
(They approach a person in the shipyard.)
Lasswell: I would speak with the person in charge here. We have need of an airship.
???: Then I'm afraid you're fresh out of luck. These airships are military property. We can't lend them out to just anyone.
Fina(grumbling): B-but, why not!? You have so many of them here!
Rain: Might I ask to whom I'm speaking?
???: The name's Lid. I'm in charge here, and for good reason. I'm the best engineer Dilmagia's got.
Lid: Why, they'll be calling me Cid in no time flat!
Fina: "Cid"...? Why would they call you that?
Rain: It's a name they bestow on all master engineers. The tradition dates back for generations.
Lid: Heh... you know your history. Not bad for a sword-swinger.
Lasswell(...): So even the future Cid doesn't have the authority to lend us one little airship?
Lid(...): H-hold on... It's like I said... I'm no Cid yet.
Rain: Too bad for us, I guess... Looks like we're hiking our way to the Wind Shrine.
(Lid gets ! over her head as Rain says this.)
Lid: H-hold your chocobos! Did you just say... the Wind Shrine?
(Rain gets a ? over his head as Lid continues speaking.)
Lid: That sigil on your armor... You're knights of Grandshelt, aren't you? In that case, I'm going with you!
Rain: Coming with us...? What are you talking about!?
Lid: The crystals I need to get my latest masterpiece off the ground are in that shrine. If you'll fight off any nasties, I can show you the quickest route there!
Lasswell: If we're going to travel on foot, we could use a guide...
Rain: Fair enough. Very well, Lid. You show us the way, and we promise to keep you safe.
Lid: Sounds like we have a deal.

Fina: Um, Lid? About that... creature with you...
Lid: This little fellow? Ain't he adorable? This is Mechabo, my very own mechanical chocobo. I built him myself!
Fina: You built it from scratch!? Why... that's amazing!
Lasswell: So what you're saying is... you built a toy chocobo.
Lid: A toy!? Mechabo! Let's teach him a lesson!
(The metal chocobo pecks Lasswell!)
Lasswell: O-ouch! Watch where you stick that beak! Aaaaahhhh!
(Lasswell backs up, then begins to run as Mechabo chases him.)
Lid: Well, I think somebody's learned their lesson. Make fun of my dear Mechabo, and you're in for a world of hurt.
Lasswell: I... I am sorry. It is no toy. It is... an impressive technological achievement.
Lid: You bet he is! All right, Mechabo. You can forgive him now.
(Mechabo pecks Lasswell again. Lasswell backs up.)
Lid: Wh-what's this? Oh dear, we seem to have a...malfunction.
(Lasswell begins running again as Mechabo chases him.)
Lasswell: Bah! I take it all back! Get this confounded contraption away from me!
